The Hereinbefore

©5-FEB-2019, Olan L. Smith

Trivial or important, a different star,

Who are we to contemplate you?

What right we have to hide in a drawer,

Your marvel―yet, we haven't a clue,

What's inside us, let alone

Within the universe? Arise little star

Shine your warmth through what is shown

In the night, you are exemplar!

You, the archetype of the universe,

And we the smallness of minuteness,

Lords of our own imagination. What is worse?

Knowing your nothing or thinking you're famous

Excrement in a void―less than nothing.

Expand your mind, know your true-self as more

Than flesh. However, know you are part of something

Much bigger; you're part of the Hereinbefore.
